New York Times DC Bureau Gets Another Financial Reporter: Ed Wyatt

The New York Times' DC bureau just got another reporter: Edward
Wyatt, a veteran Times reporter who will switch from the Los
Angeles bureau and report on financial regulation.

Wyatt was a Business Day reporter for five years, until 2000.
Since then he has been reporting on education, the 2004
Democratic, the Tour de France, and other issues, including his
current Hollywood business beat in LA.

Wyatt told us in a phone interview that he would be traveling
between the coasts for several weeks, but expects to be
"essentially full time" in two months. "Financial regulatory
reform is probably the biggest thing going on in Washington and
Congress right now," he said.

According to a staff memo sent by D.C. editors Larry
Ingrassia and Dean Baquet and forwarded to us in an email:

While financial regulation will be a main focus [for] Ed,
particularly this year, he also will help cover--along with
Bizday beat reporters--the Federal Communications Commission,
the Federal Trade Commission and the Consumer Product Safety
Commission, all of which are at the nexus of regulation of
business and commerce.
